SRV - Mary Had a Little Lamb (acoustic cover)

Originally written by Buddy Guy around 1968 and taken to the next level by Stevie Ray Vaughan on his debut album Texas Flood in 1983.

I've been playing this song for a great many years and its got such a cool intro section to play for solo blues guitar, I just love it. The title of the song is always a little disarming for the uninitiated and I remember as a kid playing this song for guitar competitions that the other kids would raise an eyebrow at the title thinking I was gonna play a simple tune... Psyche! LOL.

I hope you guys enjoy :)

In 2030 I will answer this comment saying it’s been 8 years and I’m still watching your videos. Amazing! 🔥

[lassepihl]

That turn around at the end of the “solo” straight up blew my mind.

[mikemcclelland]

Wow- the clarity you play those notes is incredible! It’s a great song- but most covers tend to be a bit sloppy strum/ pick pattern( me included). Your detail to each note is amazing

[alq]

Dude, you know our man Stevie would be so proud of the treatment you gave his tune. Absolutely stellar bro!

[fmartinbr]

Wow that descending run at 2:02!!! Awesome!

[ET-shsd]

This was the kind of the performance played in ‘the metro’ in Montreal that made me fall in SRV 20 years ago

[SmoothOutcomes]

i’m absolutely astonished by this video, I looked at the view count expecting it to have a few million but it has 76k ? 🤯 simply incredible that this level of mastery of the acoustic guitar hasn’t been seen by more people

[warbseven]

OMG, just stumbled into this. Awesome !

[ricardoblues]

A melhor mão direita que eu já vi no blues até hoje na minha vida, chega a ser mais swinging do que a do próprio. SRV.
direto do Brasil.

[derienzoffice]

Wasn't expecting this level of virtuosity. Top shelf!

[Mrbrycejames]

I almost didn’t click. I’m so glad I did.

[davidgow]

He has such good feel. Playing an acoustic guitar like this takes real talent. So impressed. ❤

[CallMeBigWorm]

My man Corey!!! Dude this is an absolutely all-in balls out one of your best performances to date. This is such a rockin bada$$ cover. I think S.R.V. would be impressed by this. I've watched it about a dozen times and still can't get enough! ❤ much love and respect for you Corey!

[gregjandt]

Just Real Nice awesome playing and good quality recording....I miss Stevie Ray!!!!

[kaiwedekind]

Perfect guitarwork, great voice, great sound.

[bmoraski]

I have to listen to this at least once a week. Thank you

[austinlhopkins]

I was grinning from ear to ear the whole video and also talking to my phone as if the guy could hear me. Not many videos make me smile. That was epic.

[bradettinger]

The tiskit-taskit bit is the coolest thing I've ever seen / heard. Ever. Love this human.

[Krushard]

Holy smokes, it's not only he doesn't miss a note, he makes them sound so crisp like each one is the most important one,

[patrickmckiernan]

WOW! That’s the best version I ever heard! The singing is great too!
